Liwonde National Park

Located at the southern tip of Lake Malombe, Liwonde National Park is a small but immensely popular game reserve in southern Malawi. The Shire River, Malawi’s main river, runs along its western boundary and is the lifeblood of the park. Liwonde offers an abundant array of wildlife, including hippos, kudus, crocodiles, black rhinos, and elephants, making it one of Malawi’s top wildlife viewing destinations. Birdwatchers, in particular, will delight in spotting the Pel’s fishing owl.

There are many exciting activities on offer for visitors, including excellent wildlife viewing opportunities, boating and canoeing safaris, and overnight stays at well-positioned safari camps. For those who enjoy exploring on foot, Liwonde is a must-visit destination.

Malawi is known as the “Warm Heart of Africa”, and the friendly and welcoming nature of the Malawian people truly lives up to this name. Visitors can comfortably explore market scenes, roadside stalls, and cottage industries. With its stunning scenery and rich cultural heritage, Malawi is an excellent country to drive in and explore.
